The Banff Centre

The Banff Centre

As the cornerstone of the Banff Centre Master plan, the Kinnear Centre transforms an ad-hoc placement of buildings into a cohesive campus, uniting the arts facilities to the east with the advanced learning facilities to the west. This is the physical and programmatic heart of the Banff Centre. Eight large multipurpose classrooms and a dance studio are stacked on the west side of the building, featuring outdoor terraces overlooking the mountains and the new outdoor amphitheatre, a venue for performances for up to 1500 people. The library, at the south end of the galleria, offers access to an extensive collection of books, films, and music scores. The building was completed on schedule in the summer of 2010.
